First Friday, Celebration & the New Chapter for JAHC

About this episode

Maggie discusses upcoming events and the role of JAHC in supporting the arts in Juneau.

JAHC Executive Director Maggie joins Cliff to preview a busy First Friday in Juneau, including the SHI Student Show at the Davis Gallery, open from 4 to 7 p.m. and free to the public. They also talk about the sold-out Jack Laughs comedy event, JAHC’s growing role in bringing live performances to Southeast Alaska, and what’s ahead as the Arts Council rebuilds with a renewed focus on supporting local artists and strengthening Juneau’s creative community. From First Friday and Celebration to food trucks, grants, galleries, and the future of the arts in Alaska’s capital city, this conversation highlights why the JAHC remains an important home for art, culture, and community connection in Juneau.
